copasetick Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 why does our 2015 impreza seem "faster" from a standing start compared to our 2012 legacy? don't they have the same CVT and 4-cylinder engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo F Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I find my 2014 Impreza to be "laggy" with the CVT- starts moving quickly enough from a stop, but lags during acceleration while the CVT lets the engine RPM's wind up. I drove a 2015 Legacy as a loaner car and found the FB25 engine to have a much smoother acceleration curve than the Impreza's FB20, even with the CVT. It may be there were changes between 2012 and 2015 that helped the Legacy perform better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
